He was very professional and answered my son's questions. His nurse and team were great and assuaged my son's fear of getting his blood drawn.

Dr. Rappaport was very friendly and professional. We hardly waited to see him, and he took the time to answer all of our questions. His nurse and office manager were also very friendly; My son actually laughed after his flu shot, because the nurse made it so easy.

All was great. I had to make a last minute sick visit for my child and I wasn't able to make it to her regular pediatrician uptown. This experience was convenient and I will definitely take my child again.

Great doc and great staff. I would suggest that he replace the 2 chairs in the room, as it has large stains/ring marks on the seats. I can only imagine what the stains are from....

First time going to an allergist, and definitely made the right choice. Dr. Rappaport and his entire staff were excellent from start to finish. I didn't feel like the Doctor was rushed, he spent time chatting with me and explaining my symptoms. Angie was also a doll, highly recommend

I appreciated the time that Dr. Rappaport took to talk to me about my symptoms and my allergy history. When I asked specific questions about different treatment options and medications he subscribed he went into great detail so I completelyunderstood what was happening. He seemed genuinely interested in figuring out a plan to treat my allergies that would best work for my lifestyle and my budget.

This visit was for my 3 year old son. We just moved to the city and were looking for a new pediatrician anyway, but my son (who has a history of allergies) started having breathing issues. Dr. Rappaport really took thetime to understand the history, my concerns, and recommend a course of treatment. I'm super picky about doctors, and our experience was great. We expect to stick with him as both primary care ped and allergist for my son.

They seem to have trouble with billing. They called a few times to ask me about my own insurance, I phoned my insurance, and it turned out they just never called to ask the question to the insurance company.

Really nice guy! It's no pleasure to be pricked by allergens, but he made it an enjoyable visit. I appreciate his effort to not only treat me, but also to educate me on various ways to better live with allergies.
